mksioux Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I'm certainly not an NHL draft expert, but from what I've heard, Parise is projected to be a late first rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 That would be kinda cool! There could be a Walz, Gaborik, Parise line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatspin7 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I like the idea of keeping "local" talent around. It would be a good choice to take Zach if he is still available. Parise and Gaborik could be a verrrrry scary combo. To bad he wont be around to get picked up by the Devs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I hope the Wild draft him and throws a ton of cash at him! He needs to make the next step and the Wild should ensure this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatspin7 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Let them draft him now and wait 3 years before throwing a ton of cash at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I hope the Wild draft him and throws a ton of cash at him! He needs to make the next step and the Wild should ensure this happens. I wonder if there are any alterior motives to this statement?? The Wild should draft Parise, if he is still available, but let him stick around at UND for at least 2 or three more years. They already have local talent in Darby Hendrickson and RUMOR has it that Trent Klatt might be in a Wild jersey next season as I believe he is a free agent after this year (I might be wrong though). Add Parise in there and you have an all Minnesota line. And a pretty damn good one too. OF course, I would like to see the Wild win, so if the all-Minnesota line doesn't work out, they shouldn't keep it. But it would still be fun to see!

flatspin7 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 So am I Zachs best interests are to stick around UND until he wins a national championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWG Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 So am I Zachs best interests are to stick around UND until he wins a national championship. I'm pretty confident that in Zach's specific case, entering the draft and immediately signing is best. I think he's done all he can do in college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPoS Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Parise?!?! Who's he?!?! I doubt he would jump into the NHL that fast, needs to put some meat on them bones of his first IMO. Plus he can TRY that way to get a ring...if he leaves there is no more trying...just not doing. WPoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamsioux Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I also think it is in Vanek, Ballard, Martin, Tallackson and Riddle's best interests to get to the pros right away. Take the cash and run boys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 If the Wild draft Parise, I wonder if the Gopher fans would still boo him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmidtdoggydog Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 If the Wild draft Parise, I wonder if the Gopher fans would still boo him? Boo him? They would probably be so damn excited that they would riot! That is what they do in the TC when good things happen to their hockey clubs, isn't it?

ScottM Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I hope the Wild draft him and throws a ton of cash at him! He needs to make the next step and the Wild should ensure this happens. Yeah, the Wild watch their wallets so closely Parise would have to live at home. Besides, the last thing the Wild need is another smallish forward.

MinnesotaNorthStar Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 HEY!...we already lost our guy for next year, you still haven't made your pick (let's not get into that again ). It is in Parise's best interest to stay at UND at least until he wins a National Championship (so one more year at the least ). I don't think that Gopher fans would boo him becuse he is now on their team, just like Brad Bombardier. Once a player becomes a Minnesota player (WCHA or NHL), the fans love 'em, regardless of where they came from. I agree with ScottM in that since the Wild are pretty tight with the wallet, I don't forsee them throwing huge money at Parise right after they draft him. But then again I didn't forsee them throwing that much at Roche either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagard Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Zachs best interests are to stick around UND until he wins a national championship. Honestly, after Zachs four years don't you think he should give professional hockey a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPoS Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Just some guy we keep reading about over on POI. Actually dagies, I think it is undercover UND fans that keep on bringing that up over on POI, the old timers over there don't bring it up...mayhap it is you?!?!?!
